Seneca Valley virus (SVV), a new member of Picornaviridae, causes idiopathic vesicular symptoms in pregnant sows and acute death in neonatal piglets, considerably damaging the swine industry. The viral protease 3C (3C) cleaves host immune-related molecules to create a favorable environment for viral replication. In this study, we found that mRNA decapping enzyme 1A (DCP1A) is a novel antiviral effector against SVV infection that targets 3D viral RNA-dependent RNA polymerase for OPTN-mediated autophagic degradation. To counteract this effect, SVV 3C targets DCP1A for cleavage at glutamine 343 (Q343), resulting in the cleaved products DCP1A (1-343) and DCP1A (344-580), which lose the ability to restrict SVV replication. In contrast, the 3C cleavage-resistant DCP1A-Q343A mutant exhibited stronger antiviral effects than the wild-type DCP1A. Additionally, the degradation of the viral 3D protein targeted by DCP1A was abolished after its cleavage by SVV 3C. In conclusion, our study demonstrated that SVV 3C is a pivotal ISG antagonist that cleaves DCP1A. These results offer novel insight into how viruses evade host immunity.

Seneca Valley Virus (SVV) is a picornavirus that causes vesicular lesions in pigs, significantly affecting global swine farming. The SVV 3C protease is essential for processing the viral polyprotein and facilitates immune evasion by cleaving or degrading multiple innate immune proteins. In this study, we identified three caspase inhibitors, including Z-VAD(OMe)-FMK (Z-VAD), Z-FA-FMK (Z-FA), and Z-VDVAD-FMK (Z-VDVAD), which significantly inhibit the cleavage activity of SVV 3C protease using a recombinant protein system.

Seneca Valley virus (SVV) is an emerging pathogen that causes severe vesicular diseases in swine, posing a significant threat to the global pork industry. DNA and RNA viruses manipulate the host DNA damage response (DDR) to modulate cellular machinery and facilitate their life cycles. However, the interaction between the host DDR and SVV infection remains unexplored.

Unlabelled: Nuclear cyclic GMP-AMP synthetase (cGAS) binds to nucleosome with high affinity to prevent its activation by self-DNA. Upon stimulation with double-stranded DNA, cGAS is activated and translocates from the nucleus to the cytoplasm, guided by its N-terminal domain. However, it remains unclear whether viruses can hijack cGAS translocation and regulate its activation.
